Last night, proactive police work by our night shift lead to multiple arrests and the recovery of fraudulent documents and narcotics.

During a proactive traffic stop, FCPD officers contacted two subjects who initially provided false names. Further investigation revealed that one subject had an outstanding felony warrant, while the second subject had five outstanding warrants.

A subsequent search of the vehicle led to the discovery of fake license plates, fraudulent identification cards, credit cards belonging to other individuals, suspected narcotics, and drug paraphernalia.

Both subjects were arrested and booked on multiple charges. This incident highlights the importance of proactive patrol efforts and the role they play in identifying wanted individuals and disrupting criminal activity within our community.

Foster City Elementary School recently held its Founder’s Day ceremony, where John, a dedicated crossing guard, was proudly recognized with a well-deserved Honorary Service Award for his commitment to traffic safety and helping children (and adults) cross the street. 🛑✋🏃🏻‍♂️💨

Here at the FCPD, monitoring traffic during school hours is one of our top priorities. Our officers do more than enforce speed limits. They provide a visible layer of protection that promotes safer driving, helps prevent accidents, and keeps traffic flowing smoothly, making all the difference in keeping children safe.
